If you get that residual blocked nose after the cold/flu has gone the salt water stuff you squirt up your nose really does work. A friend from Russia tells me that it's a standard cold treatment over there to snort salt water but that gets messy! So this is far more convenient! Unlike the little bottle of spray like Sinutab this doesn't just temporarily constrict the blood vessels which can just make the situation worse.

Just have a tissue ready or you get wet snotty feet!

Yep, or a combination of half a teaspoon of each: bicarb,salt & sugar.

You can flush the sinuses with a small syringe, instead of snorting it

No running for 6 weeks after damaging the ligament in my left ankle during the post Christmas parkrun.

Losing things! I hate misplacing stuff.

I can't find my sunglasses anywhere. I know I had them at work in early December and haven't seen them since. Turned the office and house upside looking. They are prescription Ray Bans so not cheap to replace and I only bought them in June. I do have another pair that I use for riding the bike but they have a habit of falling off my face when I'm not using them with my helmet. I need them for my holiday. Grrrrr.

Yes this is true.

Low impact. You don't want joints like mine
